Saturday Night Thread

Hawks and Bruins tied at one in the middle of the third period in NHL action. The cable box tells me that IU is playing Louisvile in the CWS. Also, I Love You, Man is on Comedy Central. Hilarious movie if anyone hasn't seen it.

Anyone drinking or eating anything good? I have some alcoholic cola's I got for $5.99 a twelve pack and am snacking on some creation I make of crescent rolls, cream cheese, chicken and crushed pineapple.

Spent the night watching the Griffins lose game 5 and drinking whiskey and cokes. Still have a 3-2 series lead but losing two in a row at home that could have clinched makes me nervous to go back to Syracuse...

Pretty much, things are getting kind of sketchy... butttttttt did outplay the Crunch tonight though, outshot them by like 30 just gave up good chances that Syracuse took advantage of when we didn't with similar chances

And I was sold. At a wedding reception in Columbus, Ohio bride and groom trolled by the good side of our family when the Victors played during the introduction of the groomsmen. All in good nature so it was fun to see.

Got home early so I'm watching the Bruins-Hawks game, listening to Yeezus (it was leaked early, and it's phenomenal), and enjoying some beer (Short's Huma Lupa Licious) from our kegerator. A good, relaxing night.

Seriously, about to start it. The girlfriend just told me she's heard that it's totally different than his previous stuff and is a bit on the odd side, so I'm pretty excited to listen to this right now. Completely agree with your comment in the last music thread, Kanye is a douche but he's definitely a great musician (same tone as the general talking about Mel Gibson in Imaginationland).

I hate being the negative nancy all the time (amongst my friends) but I'm not sold on it being Great yet. I think it's really good and there are some production qualities to a handful of songs that are awesome (great). The first four songs + Blood on the Leaves* + Send it Up + Bound = Damn near greatness for the most part. Some of the lyrics are a bit of a joke though and honestly shi**y. I read where Rick Rubin said Ye had a few songs "written" all in ~2 hours; some of that shows if true. I can see Hold My Liquor being a big jam for many people but I found it a bit lame/sophomoric (again, more the lyrics than anything). Dude really got into being dirrrty for a few of these songs.

*Blood on the Leaves I've listened to about 7 times already...I dig it

Phil Mickelson leads by a stroke seeking his first US Open after a record 5 runner ups. Quality names chasing including Luke Donald, Hunter Mahan, and Charl Shwartzel just one shit back. Promises to be a great final round.

It seems like Jagr has been frustratingly close to making some big plays all playoffs and just hasn't gotten a single bounce yet. I think he is still goalless for the playoffs despite playing very well. I just have the feeling he is due pretty soon. Guy is too good not to come through with this many chances.

when I was playing nobody even kept track of hits, so I'm probably not your guy here. If I had a CenterIce bat signal I would put it up, but sadly I don't.

Also I wanted to tell you how sorry I was about the emails we exchanged a while back. I definitely thought I had replied to you with everything, but it doesn't look like it. I did do the stuff you had wanted, and Seth chimed in as well, but I guess the reply got lost in the shuffle. You'll have a reply by tomorrow night. Again, sorry for the non-response.

the guy who does Dear Diary and Hokepoints on the front page (among other things, I've been drinking for a couple hours and can't think of them off the top of my head), and he copyedits all of the front page content. I had asked him about your potential diary since that's his job description and he did some copyediting and had a few notes.

Got a pair of 120min IPAs in the fridge I've been dying to pop, but I just don't feel that fantastic and don't want to waste one of them if I won't enjoy it. Instead, I've got some plain chocolate ice cream, I'm sippin some 1/2%, pickin' and a grinnin' on the Taylor.

Flipping over to the last suggestion from this thread (which, thanks for the heads up), "I Love You, Man." Aside from being funny just from the dialogue and cast, it always gets me that this is probably the best romantic comedy out there and they framed it as a guy trying to find a friend.
